Since opening our doors in 1995,
we have served over 600 families
with nearly 1,200 children.

We are a local response to a national crisis, mobilizing 800 local volunteers who are helping homeless families build new lives.

In Allegheny County, 3,500 children and their parents experienced homelessness last school year.

We provide quality shelter and support services at less than a third of what it costs to operate a traditional shelter program.

We are Family Promise of Southwestern Pennsylvania

connecting homeless children and their families with a network of local congregations and the community, all focused on providing them with shelter, meals, hospitality, and support until they are able to return to sustainable independent lives in their own homes.

AN INTRODUCTION TO FAMILY PROMISE

The Family Promise experience through the words of guests, staff, and volunteers.

Family Promise helps families experiencing homelessness attain sustainable independence. It sounds simple, but homelessness is the result of a complex set of issues. This film, produced by the national Family Promise organization, shares how Family Promise is able to make a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of families each year.
